I like the idea of your business but i think trying to someone a $3000 car for $10000 might be a bit of reach especially if its been modified to such a degree and has no back up in terms of warranty.

Although Saying that I thinki the idea a couple of posts previous about new cars and trading the engines etc would be pretty cool idea but again tI think that would be more for a larger scale operation.

What I'd do (I know you're getting a lot of people throwing in their 2c) is sell 'the conversion' by which I mean:

peson A brings you the car,

You assess it

Quote for conversion with a margin for new bushes / consumables etc

You 'recycle' their IC hardware to recoup some of the costs.

IF you do go down the buy-convert-sell route, I'd stick to common cars (not sure what that woukld be stateside) but a car thats common on the roads shows its known and liked by the public, is supported parts wise . Aslo make sure you conversions look proffesional, know one wants to buy something with random stray wires routed haphazardly, odd bits of electrical tape or badly crimped connector especially in return for a four-figure fee.
